Description

Machine for inserting supplements into newspapers. Despite numerous Attempts have not yet been successful, really usable machines for automatic Plugging in the newspapers to create, as the work performances of the various Models did not go much beyond those of a single manual worker. the Limits of performance were mainly drawn by the difficulties which are present in the feed of the individual copies. The one that has always been used so far Method, the copies individually from the stack by strippers o. The like. The machine feed, did not allow a faster way of working.

According to the invention, this obstacle is to be eliminated. The copy are no longer processed by strikers or drawn in a similar way or pushed, but lifted directly from the stack and into the opened main sheet securely inserted. During this work, the main sheet remains itself lie on its stack and is only removed from the stack after the supplement has been picked up lifted off and fed to the exit. This supply of the copies continues the work performance the machine hardly any limits. Another advantage of the invention is that all other work is carried out by means that have largely been tried and tested in practice and thereby ciie in and for itself simple operation of the machine in their mode of operation and economic efficiency is ensured.

The invention is mainly characterized in that the Take-over of the enclosures directly from the stack and the delivery of the same to them as well the main copies lying in stacks as well as the opening of the main copies themselves as well as the transfer of the latter directly from the stack to the delivery device rolling cylinder takes place. The main copies are opened and closed in such a way that they remain immovable in their stack. Erie shift the respective free newspaper stack is provided by providing appropriate pressure rollers and pressure bands and thereby prevents resilient extension walls on each stack and retaining flaps are provided. The cooperation of the individual cylinders can be achieved in a variety of ways. According to the main idea, they are individual cylinders combined into individual series, with one part in each series the cylinder picks up the supplements from the stack and removes them using suitable tape guides the main copy passes, while the remaining part of the cylinders of the concerned Series causes the opening and closing as well as the dispensing of the main leaves. Here it is possible that, by appropriate design, each cylinder series has several Supplementary sheets are brought into a main sheet. By arranging the Cylinder, the stack and the gripper designed as suction devices to the Cylinders it is possible to move back and forth of all cylinders and those between the same tape guides that are used for the transfer from one cylinder to the other carrying carts or sledges. The division of labor can be modified, especially for high outputs, so that each cylinder has one double function is assigned by first acting on the leading cylinder or adds a supplement to the main copy and then automatically for that of the following Cylinder incoming supplementary sheet opens, closes and forwards the corresponding main sheet.

The finished products are also expediently deposited with With the help of a rolling cylinder arranged on the carriage, which, through a corresponding Distributor in a fixed delivery belt guide monitors the finished copies Bringing it to the shelf, folded in layers.

Further features of the invention are evident from the drawings shown schematic designs. In the drawings Fig. i means a complete machine in side view, Fig. 2 and 3 the training of the stacking walls, Fig. q. a machine version, with (which each main copy two supplements are brought, Fig. 5 an embodiment in which the individual rolling cylinder can be used to double the work performance.

The drive motor T, with which a crankshaft W and a suction air pump 0 is coupled at the same time, is mounted in the machine frame M. The machine frame M also has four chambers KI, K2, K3 and K4, in which the supplements and main copies, as described in more detail below, are introduced. The finished newspapers are transported away from the chamber F by the trolley R. According to the invention, the cylinders A, B, BI are used to insert the newspapers, which are mounted together with the depositing cylinder C on a carriage D formed by two connections, which by a tie rod E and crank arm T; both of which are mounted outside the side parts of the machine, is moved back and forth by the shaft W. Between the cylinders B, B1, tape guides (three according to Fig. I), namely S1, S2, S3, are attached to the carriage D so that they can be moved with the carriage or carriage. Fixed tape guides NI-, N2, 1 \ r3, "N4, N ', N' are located above the cylinder carriage D, through which the finished copies are brought to the storage cylinder C. The cylinders are each provided with a gear wheel that is firmly seated on the axis , which with the rack G, which is attached to the inside of the side part of the machine frame, is in constant tooth engagement and the cylinders thus roll in the respective direction during their movement to the right and left. On both side parts of the machine there is a slide H for guidance of the cylinder carriage or slide D.

Below the raceway H of the cylinders A, B and BI are four stacks of folded newspapers D, Z_2, Z3 and Z4 in the chambers KI, K2, K3, K4 enclosed by adjustable side rails. The stacks Z1 and Z3 consist of the supplements to be inserted, namely the supplements Z1 lie with the spine a to the left and the supplements Z3 with the spine b to the right. In the chambers KZ and K4 the main sheets Z2, Z [, namely ZZ with the spine c to the right and Z4 with the spine d to the left are inserted. The position of the stack must be such that the cylinder A in the left dead center position of the carriage D reaches the back edge a of the supplement of Z 'and in the right dead center position the back edge b of Z3. Furthermore, the cylinders B and BI must reach the back edges c, d of Z2 and Z4 at the end of their career on the right and left, respectively. All stacks of newspapers are pressed under constant pressure upwards against the cylinders A, B and B1 by means of weight pulls H, instead of which pressing devices can also be used. However, since these do not constantly rest on the stack, there are special support rollers L and L1 between and next to the same, which are also in engagement with the rack G and are connected to the carriage D. Two support rollers L are connected by two belts y which, when the rollers L roll off, lie on the stack without pushing and give it a secure hold from above. The rollers L1 also serve as belt guide rollers for the belts S1 and S2 described later. In order to give the uppermost specimen a lateral support, also in the small spaces between the cylinder and the next platen, in which a slight rise in the specimens cannot be avoided, the side rails of the chambers K1, K4 are on the Provide the spine a, b, c, d of the main and supplementary sheets opposite sides with resilient extension walls e, which are pressed up by springs f into the track of the carriage D (see Fig. 2). The cylinders A, B and B1 press down these extensions e when rolling over, while all the other rollers are provided with passages or turned out for this purpose. The side rails of the chambers K, which are located on the back of the specimens (Figs. 2 and 3), instead of the resilient extensions, have two or more movable tongues g, which are closed (Fig. 2 right) about 3 cm above the back edges of the specimens are enough to avoid climbing. The tongues are opened only shortly before the cylinder which has to lift a copy from the relevant stack rolls on. If the specimen is lifted and the cylinder is rolled back a little, the tongues close again automatically. The tongue movement is controlled by a sliding piece (not shown in the drawing) attached to the cylinder carriage D, which presses the roller h down at the right time and, while tensioning a return spring i, lifts the tongue g (Fig. 2 left);

The machine is powered while it is running, namely in the Way that the empty space under the partly consumed Stack filled with specimens according to regulations, including a sheet metal placed in the The whole lifted, the lifting device connected to the lower sheet metal and the upper one Sheet is pulled out.

The cylinder A and the cylinders B and B1 are provided with two suction cups P1 and P2, each with two rows of suction openings, or with two double-row suction cups P3 and P4 or P5 and PB. These suckers are connected to the constantly rotating suction pump 0 through line L- and are controlled by special valves or the like, not shown in the drawing, in accordance with the operation of the machine described below.

The cylinder carriage D is in the left dead center and the cylinders even at a standstill, Pl sucks the top copy of the insert from the cylinder A. Stack Z 'on the back, lifts it up when it begins to roll to the right of the stack and leads it over itself into the tape guide S2, S3, which is connected to the carriage D and thus participates in its movements. To the transition of the copy from cylinder A into the ribbon line S2, S3 are the suction openings P1 shortly before reaching the arrester. Q1. Closed by an eccentric movement or the like. During this process, the cylinder B1 with its suction cup P5 has the open side of the main sheet stack Z2, the outer layer of the top copy sucks on, open the same in the further roller until P6 is the outermost back edge of the Reached the stack. At this moment the back of the person to be pocketed reaches from the tape guide S3, SZ relative to the slide D, supplement Z1 moved the spine of the opened main sheet Z2, since the path length of the copy from the stack Z 'over Cylinder: l corresponds to the length of the path of the cylinder carriage. The insert copy Thus, when the cylinder is at a standstill, it partially reaches through its living force his goal. At the same moment the cylinder B1 then sucks the back through PO of the open main slat, it closes after the initial movement left, lifts the same with the insert from the stack and leads it, as can be seen at N (Fig. i), through the scraper Q3 over itself Fixed tape guide. # "l. Y3 closed. The suction openings of P5 and P" 'must also be Q'-closed here before reaching the arrester.

During these processes, the Zvlinder A also does work by sucking in an insert copy from the stack Z3 through the suction openings P2 in the right dead position of the carriage D, i.e. at the moment when the insert Z1 previously carried by it has reached its destination, and the same as previously, on its way to the left, passes over itself over the scraper Q2 through the tape guides S1, S3 to the main sheet of the stack Z4, which has meanwhile been opened by the cylinder B through the suction openings P3. Then, during the return movement, the cylinder B guides the finished specimen, as described for the cylinder B1, into the fixed strip line N3, N4, NI by means of the suction openings P4 and the diverter Q4. So that the inserted supplement copy Z1 or Z3 is not withdrawn again when the cylinder retracts by the tape guides S1, S =, S3, the tape rolls L2, which are mounted on arms o, lift upwards.

To support the suction devices P4 on cylinder B and Pa on In the case of particularly strong products, cylinders B1 are puncturing devices on the cylinder bodies attached, which needles the specimen from the side (Fig.3). The removal of the punctures from the cylinder body B should be about half the thickness of the folded copy. The device is held by the screws r and can be adjusted by them. The control of the punctures p takes place against the action of the springs s by fixed ones Attacks or the like

The fixed tape guides NI, N2, N3, N4 initially lead the two copies of cylinder B and BI together at point Y and then forward them to the depositing cylinder C, which takes over the incoming copies at a standstill. In order to achieve a safe start, the tape guide has a relative slow gear. The path of the specimen in the band mechanism should roll; 1 turn of the crank be an arc length, so that the space between the copies running in the tape work is half an arc length. It follows that the path length from the delivery of cylinder B to point Y must be half an arc length shorter than that of @ler delivery of the cylinder Dl to achieve a meeting.

The movable arresters Q 'conduct 20 or 50 copies, depending on the thickness of the products, once to approach 1'1 and once to approach Y2. The path from arrester 0-- to approach Y1 is half an arc longer than that from Q5 to Y2. Both contact points YI "Y2 are provided with sliding plates on which adjustable side rails are attached as side marks. The front marks serve - two stop devices u1 and zc 'located on cylinder C, which can be lowered in cylinder C and only emerge while the copies are being taken over. ul comes into action at Y 'and u2 at Y2. After a successful run-up, the copies are grasped by two laterally attached grippers v1 and v2, respectively, which fold over the edges of the copies lying on the cylinder, guided by the rolling cylinder C and open stack F, which is also enclosed by rails and pushed upwards by a device W. The copies from infeed Yi thus come to rest on the stack F with their backs to the left and those from infeed Y2 with their backs to the right. The longitudinal fold (funnel fold) also changes its position in that the stacks Z- to Z4 are loaded in such a way that 50 or 100 copies depending on the thickness come to lie alternately with the length fold to the front and back. The spine (second fold) must always be in the or specified direction.

If stack F has enough layers for a package to be tied, see if the same are counted from below, a new sheet is inserted at the desired location and the hoists w attached thereto. The lower part then falls on the Small carriage R mounted on rails, which allows the Enables precise joints.

At 3,000 crank revolutions, if the cylinder length can accommodate two adjacent copies, the machine delivers 12,000 copies per hour.

The setup of the inserting machine shown in Fig Being the same as the machine according to fig. I. It is different from this one only in that it gives the opportunity to have two supplements in the main sheet at the same time accommodate.

M is the machine frame again, G the unwinding rack, D the carriage, which is moved back and forth by the connecting rod E. The tape guides N above of the machine are just like the delivery point F and the drive motor T and the pump 0 in the same way and for this reason no longer in the following explained and partially omitted from the drawing. Further are the loading devices not shown. The same reference numerals result in further matches.

In the machine frame M, instead of the four stacks Z 'to Z4, there are six provided, of which the stacks Z2 and Z4 again the main copies and the stacks Z3, Z ", Z'- and Z3 mean the enclosures, the pairs in the same order should be inserted in each main copy. Car D also has two smaller rollers A'- and A2 with belt S4 installed in between over pressure rollers L4. The press belt J is from the rollers L via fixed rollers L3 as an endless belt placed around the stacking chambers.

The operation of the machine is as follows: The cylinder A 'sucks in the left dead center of the carriage D with the suction device F1 from the stack Z' and leads it over itself to the cylinder A2. The latter itself did not suck in on the left when it was at a standstill, but instead makes a three-quarter turn with the other cylinders while it is still running, then hits the spine of the supplement copy in the stack Z 'during its run with the suction device P3, sucks it in and carries it out as it continues over to the right. At point I, the two copies from cylinder A ' and A2 meet and then run together via tape guide S2, S3 into the main sheet from stack Z- opened by cylinder B'-. When the cylinder carriage D has reached its right dead center, the cylinder A2 first sucks with device P 'from the stack Z3. The cylinder A 'now makes cylinder A2 three quarters of a turn to the left empty, then lifts a copy from the stack Z8 with device P2. Both copies of the cylinder A2 and A1 now meet at point II and run in the tape guide S3, S 'together to the main sheet Z4 opened by the cylinder B. This position is shown in Fig. 4.

The cylinder circumference of Al and A2 is, if it is z. B. processing to Berliner format (47X63 cm) is the cut sheet, 47 cm and the 'cm 70.5 cm, the path length of the carriage 94 of B and B. The rest of the work and performance per hour is the same as that of the mascbine according to Fig. I.

The design shown in Fig. 5 differs only slightly from the one discussed so far. However, the way you work is different. While in the earlier versions one cylinder only carried the supplement and the other worked on Ida's main sheet, in this design both are combined in one cylinder. The individual cylinders thus do double the work. The five cylinders 1, 2, 3, q. According to the last-mentioned example, with an axis spacing of likewise 70.5 cm, they are combined on the carriage D, which is moved by the crank linkage E, P. The path length is 117.5 cm. At the left dead center of the carriage D, as shown in Fig. 5, i.e. when the cylinders are at a standstill, the four cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4 suck with their suction devices Pl, P2, P3 and P4 from the piles of supplements Z ', Z3, Z6 , Z'r one copy each and lead it over you into the tape guide on the right. As you roll to the right, cylinders 2, 3, i. and 5 the main sheet stacks Z ', Z4, Z °, Z $, open the copies here in a known manner and receive the supplement belonging to their copy from the tape guide S at the end of the path on the right as described in fig. No further work is done by the cylinders on their way to the left. In the belt mill N, two copies are brought together and then transferred to the stack exit, as described in Fig. I. At 3,000 crank revolutions, if the cylinder length accommodates two adjacent copies, the work output amounts to 21,000 copies per hour. By using cross-band guides between the cylinders, the work output can be doubled, in that all cylinders then also carry out an inlay work when the carriage goes down. Furthermore, there is no difficulty in applying the working principle of Fig. I - inserting several enclosures into a main copy - also. For small capacities, the design according to Fig. I or Fig.:I can be simplified so that, as shown in Fig. 5, there is only one insertion when the carriage goes back and forth.
